WHB #104: Spaghetti with thyme-flavoured carrot pesto

This week we celebrate the two year anniversary of Weekend Herb Blogging with part two of the The Doubly Delicious Two Year Celebration. Bloggers are invited to post any recipe with at least one vegetable and one herb for this special WHB event. I began to blog about herbs since the 20^th edition of WHB and I still have fun. Last year I featured parsley as my favourite herb in combination with potatoes. This year I had a "little" problem with my herbs in the garden, but the thyme survived all attacks. Normally I would combine carrots - the one and only vegetable all members of the family love- with parsley, but than I found the recipe for

Spaghetti with thyme-flavoured carrot pesto

A great and delicious combination. My sons were impressed, so was I.
